PUTRAJAYA: Rosmah Mansor has again failed to recuse the judge who convicted her three years ago of corruption in connection with a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project for rural schools in Sarawak.
In a unanimous decision, the Court of Appeal dismissed her claim that Justice Zaini Mazlan was biased, ruling that the allegation lacked merit.
“The appellant (Rosmah) also failed to show that the trial judge was biased,” said Justice Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, who led a three-member bench.
Also on the panel hearing the appeal were Justices Azman Abdullah and Noorin Badaruddin.
Rosmah, the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak, is entitled to bring a final appeal from today’s decision to the Federal Court.
MORE TO COME.
